Shadow a Stag

Student Program

The Shadow a Stag Program is designed to give you, the student, an opportunity to experience academic and student life at Fairfield University. While on campus, you will be paired with a current student who will take you to class, introduce you to members of the Fairfield community, show you his or her favorite on-campus locations, answer your questions and eat lunch with you in the Tully Dining Room. By the end of the day, we hope that you will have a better understanding of what it means to be a student at Fairfield.
